We know CIA has agents in country and were instrumental in tracking Maduro

What are the chances you have civilian contractors in country thus no boots on the ground is technically correct

They are politicians. They don't give a crap where the money comes from as long as it keeps coming in.

This list doesn't say how much but it does say which senators received funds from Venezuela.

Understand that I’m not madly in love with Grassley or Ernst. They both have a few letters in their files where I expressed great umbrage, great umbrage, about something they said or voted on…

But, can we conclude that such a politician personally KNOWS about such contributions to their campaign? Did their staff accept the $$ but the politician didn’t really know where the money came from?

Or, if the money is there, they definitely knew, and they voted, or did something to get the money, that favored the dictator in question?

Doesn't matter if they know or not. It is their responsibility to know and they aren't supposed to take it.

They've got proof positive that every boat they sank had drugs on it. You don't seriously think that sinking a boat every week or 2 puts a dent in a $400 million dollar a week flow of cocaine? They weren't shooting every one they saw, they were shooting those they were absolutely positive were carrying cocaine. To get close to stopping it you'd have to sink 20 boats a week.

They are politicians. They don't give a crap where the money comes from as long as it keeps coming in.
